Got a flat in my less than two week old R1S. Didn't notice anything as I walked up to the vehicle. Noticed and felt a strange noise as I backed out of my parking spot. Sure enough. One tire completely flat. This is at 5pm. TPMS in the vehicle and the app said pressures are all good, last updated 8am. I was able to fill it with air to get to a tire shop and after driving a mile or so, it tells me that the tire is low. Despite this, the screen and app still tell me the pressures are good as of 8 am.
This is a pretty poor system compared to other cars I've had. In my Tesla, I get a notification on my phone if a tire is suddenly low and it updates pretty much in real time. Having a system that updates 10 minutes into a drive isn't really too useful.
Am I doing something wrong or is this just how it is?
